About this product

Mountain Caller are El, Claire and Max and hail from London. They describe themselves as a heavy progressive instrumental three-piece, who are driven to tell stories with music and want listeners to conjure up cinematic scenes in their minds. And that they do... in spades. If one needs a sonic ballpark, think the infectious jamming of Elder and the dynamic cinema-scapes of Mogwai, underpinned by the mantric riffs of Sleep. A rich amalgam of Progressive Rock, Post Metal and Doom. Nevertheless, Mountain Caller do succeed in weaving their own unique spell. After two years honing their chops with a clutch of immersive live performances under their belts, they are ready to bring you their debut album. A labour of love; the fruit of three years of jamming, crafting, and conceptualising; a collaborative piece, where each instrument takes centre stage, within a heady mix of chasmic riffs and panoramic, reflective soundscapes. Chronicle I The Truthseeker is a feminist allegory created in tandem with the music. As the band describe it... In The Truthseeker, we join The Protagonist at the edge of the Twilight Desert, compelled by an indefinable but urgent need to set forth on an Odyssean journey to rediscover her memory and her voice. Over the course of 42 minutes, we travel from barren wastelands to mysterious cities, encountering trials of both body and spirit. It is indeed a 6 track instrumental journey. All vividly evoked by a canny grasp of dynamics, melody and heavy, but hooky riffs, executed with peerless playing. 'Journey Through The Twilight Desert' opens the album in soundtrack mode, and develops in weight and riff (as if Goblin have taken up the baton) and closes in a full wide screen Mogwai trip... and that's just the opening track. Elsewhere Mountain Caller pushes to noisier, heavier groovier places. Whether it's the chiming guitars on the Krautrock/post-rock groov

Doa - Fight Back   - VINYL LP

Limited red vinyl LP pressing. 2018 album from Canada's legendary pioneering punks, released to coincide with the band's 40th Anniversary. D.O.A. set the bar high for punk and basically invented hardcore. Their rough and ready line up is led by the godfather of hardcore, Joe Shithead Keithley (guitar, vocals), and he is more than ably accompanied by the manic rhythm section of Paddy Duddy (drums) and Corkscrew (bass). Fight Back is the most innovative album the band has done since War On 45. Released on Keithley's own tag Sudden Death, this is a scathing and timely piece. Dealing with all manner of unseemly low characters and issues. The album opens with acerbic InchYou Need an Ass Kickin' Right Now,Inch then rips right into the startling InchKiller Cops,Inch then smashes into the anthemic InchTime To Fight Back,Inch which is street punk resistance at it's fiercest. The band rips through the timely InchGonna Set You StraightInch with violent and natural ease, same goes with the vitriolic InchJust Got Back From the USA.Inch The album takes a funny twist with InchWe Won't Drink This PissInch (down with bad corporate beer!) and InchYou Can't Stop Me,Inch where Keithley delves into the character of Slapshot's playing coach Reggie Dunlop, a natural alter ego perhaps!
